Summary: Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.
After. Nothing is ever the same.
My Thoughts:
Call me a teenage white girl (cause that's what I am, and that's what liking this book makes me...), but I love this book. I feel like John Green may or may not have used me as the basis for Alaska, because she (apart from the smoking) is just like me, although I admit to being slightly more sarcastic and slightly more annoying. Although the ending was predictable, it was a fabulous book that I would indeed recommend.
